I have 95 grand jeep el Laredo (if that's how you spell it) .. well the problem is it wont shift. when i start driving it goes to 3 rpms and wont switch down, it sounds like its grinding and the car will shake when i turn it off. it basically feels like the whole car is going to fall apart. i don't even know where to begin so what could be causing it and how could i fix it?
also ill put the jeep in neutral while im driving but i wont push the gas and then put it back in drive and sometimes it will switch to 1 1/2 rpms. im sure its about to fall apart :(
 
Your best hope is to check the transmission fluid. If you're low on trans fluid it won't be pretty. See, your transmission is one big hunk of hydraulic machinery, and that fluid is not only there to lubricate the gears but some of it is also there for the hydraulics to kick gears up or down. With low fluid it may not be making the switch completely. If your tran fluid is low i would sincerely recommend finding different transportation to get more fluid. And the tran fluid may be low due to a leak. so if it is get it looked at. And if its full, you may have a bad fluid pump. either way, don't drive it for anything until you figure this out or you will be further down the hole. Good Luck!!!
 
try turning overdrive off, the button right under the rear defroster.
